Château la Courolle 2018 – Montagne Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers freshness as well as minerality. It reveals notes of ripe/juicy cassis, juicy/ripe raspberry and small notes of blackberry associated with a touch of cornflower, very fine hints of toasted as well as an imperceptible hint of spices and ripe/crushed almond. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, slightly firm and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, a small tension, a small density, gourmandize, precision, a small straightness as well as a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/fleshy cassis, fleshy/juicy plum and small notes of blackberry associated with small touches of fleshy red fruits, flowers as well as hints of liquorice, toasted and a subtle hint of ripe almond. Good length. There is a very discreet hint of vanilla/chocolate as well as a very discreet chew on the finish.
